Speaker 1: And now my back.
Speaker 2: You're like that.
Speaker 3: You can strike borders with waters from head borders behind him.
Speaker 4: And if you're just tuned in Nacific cipher, I am
Speaker 4: your host, ramses Josh.
Speaker 1: I go by the name q Wares. Indeed, stay tuned.
Speaker 1: We got a lot more show to talk about.
Speaker 4: We're still working through some gun issues that are you know,
Speaker 4: plaguing this country. And and and we recognize that guns
Speaker 4: affect everyone, and so this is not just a black issue,
Speaker 4: but it is in fact a black issue the same
Speaker 4: as it is an issue for everyone else. In that
Speaker 4: same spirit, I do want to recognize that this is
Speaker 4: Asian American and Pacific Pacific islander heritage each month, and
Speaker 4: we definitely want to spend some time highlighting that for
Speaker 4: our AAPI brothers and sisters who have stood in solidarity
Speaker 4: with us. So let's get started on that right now
Speaker 4: with becoming a Better Ally Baba sponsored by Hip Hop Weekly.
Speaker 4: So there's a song that we play on the show.
Speaker 4: It's by Dilated Peoples and it's called Proper Propaganda.
Speaker 1: We play it every show.
Speaker 4: We just played it for the rejoin and we'll play
Speaker 4: it again before the show is over. We we like
Speaker 4: that song because proper propaganda kind of fits the theme
Speaker 4: of the show here.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 4: One of the MC's from Dilated People's put up a
Speaker 4: song called Anti Remix and it features Rocke Eye Science
Speaker 4: to the Dilated People's Shingo to Bohan Phoenix and DJ
Speaker 4: Kutso and basically it's a song kind of detailing some
Speaker 4: of the hate experienced by some of our AAPI brothers
Speaker 4: and sisters. There's also an assembl Sorry, a mixtape of
Speaker 4: artists who make sure Asians have a place in pop culture.
Speaker 1: Along with giving you new songs to obsess about.
Speaker 4: The artists on the mixtape navigate the complex space between
Speaker 4: the Asian and Pacific islander in American culture. Many of
Speaker 4: them have Bay roots like Jay Sam Go, Nakumura, Guac
Speaker 4: Dad four thousand and others who are from overseas, and
Speaker 4: you can find out more about that on our social media.
Speaker 4: We'll have that up for you, so be sure to
Speaker 4: check that out as well and support the music, and
Speaker 4: in that way we can kind of bridge I'll build
Speaker 4: bridges to.
Speaker 1: Each other's community.
Speaker 4: Now we're going to discuss some other goings on in
Speaker 4: the world. There is a lesser known mass shooting that
Speaker 4: took place. This was that a Korean church in southern California,
Speaker 4: so I will read this comes from NBC News. A
Speaker 4: shooting at a Taiwanese church in California that killed one
Speaker 4: and wounded five is investigated as a hate crime. The
Speaker 4: FBI says Chao, a US citizen from China, was quote
Speaker 4: upset about political tensions between China and Taiwan.
Speaker 1: Okay, So.
Speaker 4: We recognize that, you know, there's a problem with guns
Speaker 4: in this country, that people can go and buy guns
Speaker 4: and take out their aggressions at churches, at grocery stores,
Speaker 4: at schools, you name it. And we don't want to
Speaker 4: turn to turn a blind eye to the hurt that
Speaker 4: is experienced in other communities. So we want to acknowledge that.
Speaker 4: We believe that, you know, by working together, by having
Speaker 4: these sorts of conversations, we can all move closer to
Speaker 4: the goal of seeing things like this happen less frequently.
Speaker 4: But this does qualify as a mass shooting. It didn't
Speaker 4: make headlines because at the time when this happened, you know,
Speaker 4: there was the mass shooting in Buffalo that killed ten
Speaker 4: black shoppers and I believe there were three injured without them,
Speaker 4: So we didn't want to skip over this. We recognize
Speaker 4: that there are fears and this it's a different there's
Speaker 4: a different lens through which the world is viewed sometimes
Speaker 4: in our Asian brothers and sisters community, same as our
Speaker 4: Hispanic brothers and sisters.
Speaker 1: And so I wanted to make sure that we talked
Speaker 1: about that. And it really wouldn't have been to be honest,
Speaker 1: and you know, apprecing to the choir here, it wouldn't
Speaker 1: have been a skipping over so much. Supposed to have
Speaker 1: three mass shootings to report on, and thank you for
Speaker 1: saying that. So what we have is now, in short order,
Speaker 1: three different mass shootings talking Buffalo, we're talking the one
Speaker 1: at the church in southern California and of course the
Speaker 1: school in Texas. Three different circumstances.
Speaker 4: And you know, there's a lot of folks are pointing to,
Speaker 4: you know, mental health issues in these communities, right, and
Speaker 4: them may be well founded.
Speaker 1: It's also so ignorantly convenient, sure to try to use
Speaker 1: mental health as this mask all band aid to excuse
Speaker 1: very very irresponsible legislation, very very irresponsible carnivore like capitalism,
Speaker 1: very very irresponsible propaganda like levels of racism. Let's just
Speaker 1: throw mental health on it so we can make it
Speaker 1: seem isolated and try to take the attention off of
Speaker 1: the reasons why people are actually angry. You know, there's
Speaker 1: I put a post up on my Facebook and I says,
Speaker 1: does anyone still think having more guns is the solution?
Speaker 4: Right? Because you know that was part of the narrative
Speaker 4: for a long time when the last president was in office.
Speaker 4: Put more guns on the street, give more guns to
Speaker 4: teachers so they have a gun in the class, like
Speaker 4: that sort of thing, as if that's the world that people, Yeah,
Speaker 4: as if that's the world people want to live in, right,
Speaker 4: And you know, I'm thinking by asking this question that
Speaker 4: the answer is obvious.
Speaker 1: Of course, you thought you were being rhetorical. That's what
Speaker 1: I thought. You forgot the country that you live in.
Speaker 1: I did for a quick second that optimism of mine. Man,
Speaker 1: it took me to another place. Oh, my my friend,
Speaker 1: my brother.
Speaker 4: It was like the Staple singers was was calling me
Speaker 4: because I was anyway. So there was a gentleman that responded.
Speaker 4: As it turned out, he wasn't my friend on Facebook.
Speaker 4: I don't know how he my post ended up making.
Speaker 1: Its way to him, but he says, Chicago is a
Speaker 1: perfect example of what happens when you take guns away.
Speaker 1: Now it's the murder capital of the world, right.
Speaker 4: And I could see him on his keyboard.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know, I don't know quite
Speaker 1: like Maggie b knowing, but I do know how you feel.
Speaker 4: Cute. But I could see him behind his keyboard typing
Speaker 4: that and getting that off and somehow thinking that he's right.
Speaker 4: You know, we can't take the guns away, so the
Speaker 4: only solution is more guns. And he wields Chicago like
Speaker 4: it's the be all end all, and now he's won.
Speaker 1: The argument kicks closed. He's done with it. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I immediately responded as soon as I saw it, and
Speaker 4: I says, now, now, mind you. He says, Chicago is
Speaker 4: a perfect example of what happens when you take guns away.
Speaker 4: It's now the murder capital of the world.
Speaker 1: I said, that statement makes sense even to the author
Speaker 1: of that post.
Speaker 4: So I said, Australia is a perfect example of what
Speaker 4: happens when you take guns away. Chicago has many other
Speaker 4: systemic problems added to the fact that guns weren't ever
Speaker 4: really taken away. Now Australia, I don't hold me to
Speaker 4: this because I'm just remembering reading about this. But Australia
Speaker 4: had a mass shooting there with some guys shooting people
Speaker 4: up on a beach or something like that. It was awful.
Speaker 4: It was a national tragedy, of course. And after that
Speaker 4: they said, you know what, no more guns, we don't
Speaker 4: need run.
Speaker 1: No guns back. So everyone had to bring the guns back.
Speaker 4: And since then they haven't had those types of tragedies
Speaker 4: where people are just mowing down folks.
Speaker 1: Let me read this or this. But in nineteen ninety
Speaker 1: six a gunman murdered thirty five people in Australia, this
Speaker 1: is it, and injured twenty three others at a tourist resort.
Speaker 1: That was it. The country immediately moved to establish a
Speaker 1: national gun registry, required permits for gun purchases, and banned
Speaker 1: all semi automatic rifles and semi automatic pump action shotguns.
Speaker 1: A government buy back program also retrieved some six hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand now banned firearms. They've had one mass
Speaker 1: shooting since Okay, before those reforms they had mass shootings
Speaker 1: and thirteen of the eighteen years.
Speaker 4: Okay, now I'm glad you read that, because I want
Speaker 4: to add to it that in New Zealand, Q and
Speaker 4: I We have a friend who is Muslim, and things
Speaker 4: that happened to our Muslim brothers and sisters are things
Speaker 4: that we pay attention to because we recognize that our
Speaker 4: Muslim friend the world is very different to her. In
Speaker 4: New Zealand, a white supremacist went into a mosque and
Speaker 4: mowed down fifty people in the mosque, and obviously that
Speaker 4: was another national tragedy in New Zealand. A different country
Speaker 4: from Australia, a different country from the United States. These
Speaker 4: are both free countries, by the way, just like the US,
Speaker 4: both free countries.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: The one thing is that you know, people say, you know,
Speaker 4: we have the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms
Speaker 4: doesn't say you have the right to bear as many
Speaker 4: arms as you want. You know, you could have a
Speaker 4: limit two gun. You can have a shotgun and a
Speaker 4: handgun limit. That's it, right, It's possible, and that still
Speaker 4: complies with the Second Amendment.
Speaker 1: You could have it.
Speaker 4: You know, we could have it even be more strict
Speaker 4: because it could be limited to the arms that were
Speaker 4: in existence at that time. What types of guns existed,
Speaker 4: where they are automatic guns, where they're only muskets.
Speaker 1: You know, who knows. There's ways to interpret that law
Speaker 1: that makes everyone safer. It's also called the Second Amendment.
Speaker 1: It's an amendment. Google is free. I'll let you guys
Speaker 1: Google amendment. Yeah, you can change that. They change all
Speaker 1: the time again. Yeah, three days after those fifty people
Speaker 1: were murdered in a mosque in New Zealand. New Zealand,
Speaker 1: a free country that did not even require guns to
Speaker 1: be registered, banned assault rifle, bought the guns back. Yet
Speaker 1: they have not had a mass shooting since, not one.
Speaker 4: So let's talk about Great Britain. I believe that this
Speaker 4: was like I feel like this is an Irish story, right,
Speaker 4: but Great Britain. There was a gentleman there. I don't
Speaker 4: want to call him a gentleman, a guy there. He
Speaker 4: was getting picked on or something like that. He was
Speaker 4: suspected of being a pedophile nose and got a gun,
Speaker 4: went to a school, shot the school up. All right,
Speaker 4: this was this was years ago, and they did effective
Speaker 4: did the same thing as Australia, as New Zealand.
Speaker 1: All right, no more guns. This is this is senseless.
Speaker 1: This is craizy.
Speaker 4: It's a national tragedy. They weren't on some thoughts and prayers.
Speaker 4: I mean sure, but they were on some let's take action.
Speaker 4: They weren't, you know, stonewalling legislation in the way that
Speaker 4: the Senate Republicans are doing right now. And it's almost
Speaker 4: like it's almost like they're rubbing everyone's faces in it
Speaker 4: because the you know, as of this recording, our understanding
Speaker 4: is that the former president and Ted Cruz and the
Speaker 4: governor of Texas are all going to go to and
Speaker 4: in our a National Rifle Association convention in Texas and
Speaker 4: celebrate gun.
Speaker 1: Now. As you know, that's definitely attending. And the nr
Speaker 1: I even put out a statement, yeah, in the statement
Speaker 1: mentioning that they were convening like.
Speaker 4: It was ninety one percent of the people in this
Speaker 4: country are in favor of universal background checks on guns,
Speaker 4: and they and the Senators will not even listen to that.
Speaker 4: They won't even debate it because it's been politicized.
Speaker 1: And the Dunblane massacre happened in Scotland. Scotland, Okay, that's
Speaker 1: in the ninety Kingdom. So as you moved to.
Speaker 4: Post stricter gun laws because it's just it just makes sense,
Speaker 4: that's what you do. This is very doable, even in
Speaker 4: a country this big, even in a country this diverse.
Speaker 4: Of course, you don't get everything right the first time,
Speaker 4: but you did something, even if it's the wrong thing right.
Speaker 4: Because there's nothing more wrong than me having to have
Speaker 4: a conversation with my child about how to protect himself
Speaker 4: when he's at school in the event that the worst happens.
Speaker 4: The only reason I'm having this conversation on the radio
Speaker 4: is just in case you might not know what to
Speaker 4: say to your child.
Speaker 1: This is a really strange place to interject this go
Speaker 1: for it, and it just came across my feet. I
Speaker 1: don't even need the context. Texas Governor Abbott and I
Speaker 1: quote it could have been worse. So these are the
Speaker 1: lives of American citizens.
Speaker 4: We do recognize that there is a gun lobby, powerful
Speaker 4: gun lobby. There is a very significant portion of the
Speaker 4: population that equates owning a gun to being an American.
Speaker 4: Or maybe it's owning a gun and owning a Bible,
Speaker 4: which I don't know that those things for me personally,
Speaker 4: I'm a philosophical love I don't know that those two
Speaker 4: things really exist in the same place.
Speaker 1: Because, you know, for those that.
Speaker 4: Subscribe to the Bible or Christian ideology or whatever, my
Speaker 4: understanding is that the Bible is.
Speaker 1: It's effectively.
Speaker 4: A manual that teaches you how to you better, love better,
Speaker 4: to live a good life, aust life. You know, you
Speaker 4: don't harm people, you know, serve God, that sort of thing.
Speaker 4: If I'm wrong, you know you can you can reach out.
Speaker 4: We're at Civic Cipher. Let me know if the Bible
Speaker 4: is if I got that wrong.
Speaker 1: But we are, however, a walking contradict.
Speaker 4: Sure, sure, but I'm making I'm making a point that
Speaker 4: so there's made a better comparison. There's my point is
Speaker 4: because the gun, you know, we say this all the
Speaker 4: time on the show, but the gun only exists to
Speaker 4: end a life, which I believe flies in the face
Speaker 4: of everything that the Bible talks about.
Speaker 1: If you believe in the Jesus part, there's a whole
Speaker 1: turn the other cheek a.
Speaker 4: Section in there, right, I'm not if I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 4: that's where that comes from. So having a gun, even
Speaker 4: if it is to, like, I don't know, protect your
Speaker 4: I feel like, if you need to protect yourself, protection
Speaker 4: comes in the form of a bulletproof vest. Killing someone
Speaker 4: comes in the form of a gun. And if that's
Speaker 4: what you call protection, then let's call it what it is,
Speaker 4: you know. But I don't want to get too far
Speaker 4: down this rabbit hole because I I Ramses, was not
Speaker 4: put here to end the life you know, I live.
Speaker 1: I live today. Well, I love my son, I love
Speaker 1: your son.
Speaker 3: I love you too.
Speaker 1: I love my my older son. He's not here, you know.
Speaker 4: So that's what my story is going to be about,
Speaker 4: not about ending anyone else's life.
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to cut you off. To you God, Well,
Speaker 1: so what do we do about it? H first time
Speaker 1: I smiled all show? So what do we do about it?
Speaker 4: I will will have a second baba, right, Steve Kerr.
Speaker 4: If you haven't seen it, please go and watch. It's
Speaker 4: a short viral clip on your favorite social media site
Speaker 4: or or you can just google it. I'm sure it's
Speaker 4: on YouTube as well. He sat down, You've Kerr who
Speaker 4: lost a parent to gun violence. By the way, thank
Speaker 4: you for suing. I could textualize this for you. I'm
Speaker 4: not a sports person, but you know I am a
Speaker 4: person who pays attention to the culture.
Speaker 1: If you will.
Speaker 4: So he sits down at this table and he says,
Speaker 4: I don't want to talk about basketball. How do I
Speaker 4: talk about basketball? A bunch of babies just got shot
Speaker 4: at school. They didn't get to go home. Parents, they
Speaker 4: didn't even know they went to the school, and then
Speaker 4: they found out.
Speaker 1: Some didn't even find out in the moment. Right. The
Speaker 1: count as of yesterday, I think was fifteen. The count
Speaker 1: as of five minutes ago twenty one. Yeah, so there
Speaker 1: are parents who are still finding out that their babies
Speaker 1: were murdered yesterday.
Speaker 4: I think that what he did is what we should do. Okay,
Speaker 4: let's all stop. We don't need to talk about basketball.
Speaker 4: You know, we don't need to. You know, I own
Speaker 4: a nightclub. Well, watch me say this. We don't need
Speaker 4: to go to the club. We can take a week off,
Speaker 4: we can figure something out. We could write a letter
Speaker 4: to an elected representative. We could go down to an office,
Speaker 4: we could organize, we could you know, tap in with
Speaker 4: a group that you know something. We can't do nothing,
Speaker 4: and obviously we cannot expect our elected representatives to do this.
Speaker 4: And you don't want to be those people where this
Speaker 4: comes to your door before you take action. I've seen
Speaker 4: parents crying, and you know, the parents from the Parkland massacre,
Speaker 4: the people from Post nightclub. All these folks get on
Speaker 4: the news every time something like this happens, and they
Speaker 4: say the same things. Well, their numbers are growing, but
Speaker 4: only because their loved ones are dying. You don't want
Speaker 4: to join those ranks after your loved one has died.
Speaker 4: You want to join those ranks now. So that's what
Speaker 4: we can do. You know, one thing I noticed.
Speaker 1: During the last administration is that the buy in from
Speaker 1: that side it's unlike anything you've ever seen before, because
Speaker 1: even when it arrives on their door, they'll justify their rhetoric. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just to not have to say I'm wrong. And this
Speaker 1: is a completely unrelated topic, but there was a mother
Speaker 1: being interviewed after our former president says some very very
Speaker 1: vile and disrespectful things about women sexual assault more specifically,
Speaker 1: and the mother kind of the mother looked over to
Speaker 1: her daughters and kind of echoed the sentiment and some
Speaker 1: way of everybody gets gropes sometimes, right, just as a
Speaker 1: way to justify that to her own daughter. So know
Speaker 1: that even when it's on their doorstep, it still doesn't
Speaker 1: really call for action.
Speaker 4: Well, I'll leave you with this. I've heard this before.
Speaker 4: What do you do when you can't do nothing, but
Speaker 4: there's nothing you can do. The answer is you do
Speaker 4: what you can all right, it's time for the way
Speaker 4: Black history fact. This one comes from Time magazine and
Speaker 4: we are honoring our Asian American and Cific Islanders for
Speaker 4: the AAPI Heritage Month.
Speaker 1: This is the story of how one woman's.
Speaker 4: Story led to the creation of Asian American and Pacific
Speaker 4: Islander Heritage Month. So I'll read one persistent voice expressing
Speaker 4: frustration towards the status quo can change the way history
Speaker 4: is remembered. Case in point, Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.
Speaker 4: The observance now takes place every May in the US
Speaker 4: and is marked by communities within the country, within the
Speaker 4: country's twenty two point two million Asian and one point
Speaker 4: six million Native Hawaiian and other Pacific islanders. And yet
Speaker 4: despite that scale, the seeds for the commemorative month originated
Speaker 4: from one woman. During the congressional hearing in nineteen ninety
Speaker 4: two in which then New York Congressman Frank Horton introduced
Speaker 4: a bill that called for May to get that designation.
Speaker 4: He made a point of signaling out that woman Jeanie Drew,
Speaker 4: a former Capitol Hill staffer who had first Approachorten about
Speaker 4: the idea in the mid nineteen seventies. That's a long
Speaker 4: gap between the seventies and ninety two, more than fifteen
Speaker 4: years earlier. She had witnessed the US bi centennial celebrations
Speaker 4: of nineteen seventy six and was concerned about the lack
Speaker 4: of recognition given to Asian Pacific Americans. Quote she thought,
Speaker 4: what are the different ways that we can promote public
Speaker 4: awareness of the contributions, says Claudine Cheng, a former president
Speaker 4: of OCA Asian Pacific American Advocates. At the time, celebrations
Speaker 4: for Black History Mode and Hispanic Heritage Week were already
Speaker 4: in place. While Black History Month was decreed by President
Speaker 4: Gerald Ford in nineteen seventy six to become a national observance.
Speaker 4: We did an episode on that one. Hispanic Heritage Week
Speaker 4: was designated as a national celebration by President Lyndon B.
Speaker 4: Johnson in nineteen sixty eight.
Speaker 1: Quote the right.
Speaker 4: Thing to do was to push for the Asians to
Speaker 4: also have a similar time during the year for commemoration
Speaker 4: and celebration, quote, Chang says. And for Jue, the lack
Speaker 4: of recognition was very personal. Her great grandfather Milee had
Speaker 4: come to the US from China in the eighteen hundreds,
Speaker 4: and helped build the transcotton down the railroad. He and
Speaker 4: his peers had played a key role in American history,
Speaker 4: but had suffered for it. In the late nineteenth century,
Speaker 4: US federal law openly targeted Chinese immigrants. The Chinese Exclusion
Speaker 4: Act of eighteen eighty two prevented the immigration of Chinese
Speaker 4: laborers to the US for ten years, and was renewed
Speaker 4: by the Gee Gee Tree Act, which additionally required immigrants
Speaker 4: from China to gry permits at all times or faced
Speaker 4: possible deportation. It was not until more than sixty years later,
Speaker 4: in nineteen forty three, that Congress repealed that exclusion, and
Speaker 4: even then the law only allowed one hundred and five
Speaker 4: Chinese people to enter the country each year. I believe
Speaker 4: it's Chinese people are the only ethnic group that has been.
Speaker 1: Excluded and.
Speaker 4: Targeted by law like the ethnic group written out Chinese
Speaker 4: people outside of black.
Speaker 1: Host Of course, DeFi wasn't getting that one off today,
Speaker 1: so all right.
Speaker 4: Toward those who did make it to the United States,
Speaker 4: acts of violence were common. One incident involved seventeen men
Speaker 4: and boys murdered in Los Angeles in what is now
Speaker 4: known as the Chinese Massacre of eighteen seventy one. Another
Speaker 4: involved San Jose's Chinatown being burned and destroyed. Genie Jews
Speaker 4: ancestor did not escape this fate. Lee later became a
Speaker 4: prominent California businessman. Horton a primary sponsor of the resolution
Speaker 4: set in nineteen ninety two, when the Chinese were having
Speaker 4: difficulties in Oregon, mister Lee traveled to Oregon and was killed.
Speaker 4: During that period of unrest, it was a time of
Speaker 4: anti Chinese and anti Asian sentiment. The revelations about mister
Speaker 4: Lee and the story of Asian Americans led this one
Speaker 4: woman to believe that not only should Asians understand their
Speaker 4: own heritage, but that all Americans must know about the
Speaker 4: contributions and histories of the Asian Pacific American experience in
Speaker 4: the United States. The month of May was selected for
Speaker 4: two reasons, First to commemorate the arrival of the first
Speaker 4: known Japanese immigrant to the US on May seventh, eighteen
Speaker 4: forty three. Secondly, to honor the completion of the Transcontinental
Speaker 4: Railroad on May tenth, eighteen sixty nine, the building of
Speaker 4: which up to twenty thousand Chinese workers participated in Jew
Speaker 4: and Ruby Moy Horton's chief of staff, spearheaded the efforts
Speaker 4: to gain support for the proclamation. In nineteen seventy eight,
Speaker 4: Horton and former California Representative Norman Minetta introduced a bility
Speaker 4: called for the week beginning on May fourth, which would
Speaker 4: include the dates of two key events to be designated
Speaker 4: as Asian Pacific American Heritage Week. After the joint resolution
Speaker 4: was passed by Congress, President Jimmy Carter signed it into law,
Speaker 4: and thus the commemorative occasion began as a week. The law, however,
Speaker 4: did not designate the week as an annual celebration, and
Speaker 4: community organizations and advocates were required to submit new requests
Speaker 4: annually have the bill reauthorized. In nineteen ninety, the Commemorative
Speaker 4: Week expanded to a commemorative month after a new bill
Speaker 4: was passed by Congress and signed in the law by
Speaker 4: President hw Bush. Even then, the proclamation did not include
Speaker 4: an annual designation. The President had to reauthorize May as
Speaker 4: Asian Pacific American Heritage a month annually in the coming years.
Speaker 4: It was not until nineteen ninety two when Horton, along
Speaker 4: with multiple co sponsors, introduced the legislation that would permanently
Speaker 4: designate May as the Commemorative Month, a legislation that became
Speaker 4: law after receiving unanimous support in Congress. I want to
Speaker 4: take a moment because there's some people who might just
Speaker 4: be tuning into this show. They might not know the
Speaker 4: history of this show, and I want to make sure
Speaker 4: that I speak, and I'll speak for UQ as well.
Speaker 4: The reason that we on this Black show highlight issues
Speaker 4: that affect our Hispanic brothers and sisters communities and our
Speaker 4: Asian brothers and sisters communities is we saw in twenty
Speaker 4: twenty those people come out and march with us when
Speaker 4: we needed them. We saw with our own eyes well
Speaker 4: live the rest of our lives knowing that truth. And
Speaker 4: we also recognize that we were the most likely to
Speaker 4: be able to get a radio show nationally syndicated in
Speaker 4: this space. You know, many of you listen to us
Speaker 4: on hip hop stations. Many of you you listen to
Speaker 4: us on really big radio stations in your in your communities,
Speaker 4: And it would be easier for us to do that
Speaker 4: then it would be for some of our other brothers
Speaker 4: and sisters from different tribes. And far be it from
Speaker 4: us to forget the people that stood with us.
Speaker 1: I also want to say, very very quickly, we as
Speaker 1: a people have also shown throughout our history that we
Speaker 1: don't even require for you to stand with us, for
Speaker 1: us to support you. We have given the largest and
Speaker 1: most unbalanced benefit of the doubts to everyone else. I
Speaker 1: think of any people in the history.
Speaker 4: Of the world, We'll say and uh, We'll leave it
Speaker 4: right there, heavy show. Thank you for tuning in. Of course,
Speaker 4: I'm your host, ramses Josh, I go by the name
Speaker 4: you Board. I want to shout out my special helper, uh,
Speaker 4: the person that took an hour of his time to
Speaker 4: hang out with the grown ups and be bored.
Speaker 1: Mister Taylor, thank you for being on the show today.
Speaker 1: You welcome.
